Notes
QB play abysmal, Rush Def mauled vs WMU
Last MAC year, no bowl. No Offense. Grim outlook
Off is worst in CFB, QBs awful, RB Johnson OK
DL good, Def good but Off #'s are just ass
Lost 6 straight, worst Off Success #'s in all CFB
Program is regressing fast. OC Beschorner must go
QB Holst benched, QB2 Davidson immediately picked
Off poss worst in CFB, have no QB, rush Off worse
Slog W over Holy Cross. 3.7 ypc, 4.5 ypp. Woof
Portal QB Proctor (Dart) exciting, joins in summer
